chilli Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 well apparently a hairdryer can be used to dry it out (put it up against the hole where the bulb goes) - as a temporary fix. to properly fix it, check the bulbs fit in the holes properly - i.e. they seal up ok with the o-rings that are on the bulbs new o-rings or something to seal it up (like grease) should then see them stay condensation free - in theory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supragold Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Try taking your bulbs out and putting some vasoline on the rubber o rings. Some times they dry out. This will help seal them. You'll need to dry them out completely first with a hairdryer aimed through where the bulbs go. Worked on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I found blowing an airline into them dries them out much quicker than a hairdryer/heatgun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Apparently you can also use the Gel bags that you get in elecrical goods. Put em on a bit of string. Shove em in Close the back and drive around with full beam for a while. Need to get them sealed or they will just go again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
